the fact greece going through it and they read about france, italy, and spain has made this issue topical for the american people. so when you do polls and ask people what is the biggest issue in the 2012 election, number one is the economy and jobs by a wide margin. number two is the deficit. and -- they recognize you can't go on forever. the people who recognize that tend to be republicans. and the people who don't recognize it tend to be democrats. what we have to get is that 5% or 10% in the middle who sometimes vote republicans, sometimes vote democrat and have them understand how important this is.
